Using digital cameras...

[Winston Kinch]

>From time to time, I have used flip charts as the medium for small group reports. It seems that, when the group is not so large that wall space becomes a limiting factor (perhaps less than forty or so folks) it allows greater freedom of individual expression, and to be less sterile than homogeneously aligned printed pages in 12 pt. Arial...  The challenge is of course converting them into replicable "proceedings" with a minimum of work. Once, I had someone with a digital camera offer to take pictures of some reports that were not readily transmogrifiable into printed pages (mind maps, group art) and we distributed the pics along with the other reports "as is" by e-mail as part of the proceedings.

I am facilitating a small group (20 - 40 people) next month and am thinking about using this process exclusively (no re-typing) with a digital camera and e-mail or where necessary copies of the photos.

I would appreciate any thots you might have from experience (or theoretical speculation) for "do's and don'ts" in going this way...
